Kimi Antonelli 2026 São Paulo GP F1 replica helmet

The Kimi Antonelli 2026 São Paulo GP F1 replica helmet is a full-size 1:1 display and collector replica of Kimi Antonelli’s special helmet for the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix, revealed by Antonelli himself on Instagram on 5 November 2026. He posted it with a short caption: “This one means a lot to me / My special helmet for the weekend! / A tribute to my idol and Brazil / I hope you guys like it as much as I do”.

Antonelli had announced it himself, speaking to the media after the previous Grand Prix: “I will have a special helmet for Brazil, for Ayrton.” He added: “Also because it’s going to be 35 years since he won in sixth gear, his home race.” And: “So, yeah, it’s going to be a tribute helmet for Brazil, for Ayrton, and I think it’s one of my best helmets that I’ve made.”

The idol of his caption is Ayrton Senna: Antonelli has named Senna as his idol, in his own words, since 2024, and he races with the number 12 because of him. The win he speaks of dates from 1991, 35 years ago, when Senna won his home race for the first time, in sixth gear.

The design is built on the colours of the Brazilian flag, which are also the yellow, green and blue of Senna’s helmets: a bright yellow base with green and dark-blue bands, each edged with thin white lines. At the front, the Mercedes star sits on the yellow forehead, with CrowdStrike on each side of the forehead panel, on yellow framed by green; PETRONAS runs in black along a yellow strip above the visor, with adidas logos. On the chin, the WhatsApp logo sits on the yellow and the “nu” logo, in white, on a dark-blue badge. In the photos, the visor is mirrored blue and its tear-off tabs carry the colours of the Italian flag, green, white and red; on the replica, visor options are chosen in the configurator on this page.

On the sides, a large Brazilian flag, with its globe, its stars and the motto “ORDEM E PROGRESSO”, fills a green panel behind the visor opening. Star motifs, yellow stars with dark-blue and white outlines, complete the sides, with Signify and Akkodis on the lower part. On the top, a dark-blue crown carries the Muse logo; it is ringed by yellow, then by a dark-blue band edged in green, where the number 12 stands out in white, outlined in green, between two sponsor logos.

At the back, CrowdStrike appears twice, with the adidas logo, on the yellow. Below the green band comes Ayrton Senna’s “S” logo, in dark blue on yellow, framed by two large stars. Below it, on the dark-blue band, sits a white gear-lever gate with the letters “BR” above it, the sixth-gear position picked out by a round lightning-bolt symbol and the figure “6”. It marks the sixth-gear win Antonelli spoke about.

The seven images are photos of Kimi Antonelli’s own helmet — the original helmet, shown here for reference — all from his Instagram post, against a dark background: the front, held by Antonelli in his purple Mercedes race suit and blue Mercedes cap; the side with the Brazilian flag, also in his hands; the back, on a stand; the top, with the number 12; a close-up of the S logo and the gear-lever graphic; a close-up of the Brazilian flag; and Antonelli seated, with the helmet on his knee.

As a full-size 1:1 replica, this helmet is a display and collection object — a centrepiece for a shelf, cabinet or desk in an Antonelli or Mercedes collection, and a keepsake of the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix. Its interest is entirely visual: the yellow, green and blue of the Brazilian flag, the flag on the sides, Senna’s S logo and the gear-lever graphic at the back, the number 12 on the top, its proportions and its display presence. His 2026 season helmet, his 2026 Monaco GP and Monza GP specials, and his 2026 Singapore GP pre-order are also in the catalogue. For display, the bright yellow stands out against a dark background, as in the photos; turned three-quarters from the back, the helmet shows the back and one side at once.

The São Paulo Grand Prix is round 20 of the 2026 season, at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos) in São Paulo, with the race on Sunday 8 November 2026. Kimi Antonelli, the Italian driver, is in his second Formula 1 season, racing with the number 12 for Mercedes, and he arrives in São Paulo as the 2026 world champion, a title he secured in Mexico City.

The replica reproduces the livery and design shown at the reveal, at real size. Visor and interior options are chosen on this page before ordering, with the same configurator as the rest of the catalogue.

This design is offered as a pre-order. Because it is a just-revealed helmet, the photographs show the original racing helmet for reference; your replica is produced to reproduce that livery and design, and is made to order following your purchase.
